CanPrev Antioxidant Network Details

Antioxidant Network™ is a synergistic network of antioxidants formulated to enhance the power of one another and help recycle and regenerate each other to provide our cells and body constant protection from free radical damage. Antioxidants do not work singly. they work in concert with other antioxidants. [VCAPS]

Free radicals are molecules that are naturally produced when your body breaks down food or by environmental exposures like tobacco smoke and other chemicals. free radicals can damage cells and have been linked to various chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, macular degeneration and cancer. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and prevent and repair damage done by free radicals.

CanPrev Antioxidant Network Contains:

Coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone)

Coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone) is a potent fat-soluble antioxidant that is found virtually in every cell of your body, mainly in the mitochondria of the cell, the part that is respon- sible for creating energy. the highest concentrations of coQ10 are found in the heart, brain and liver. As a result, coQ10 plays a vital role in generating energy to power organs such as the heart, brain and liver. coenzyme Q10 also helps to regenerate other antioxi- dants in the body: vitamins A, c, E and glutathione. the body's natural production of coQ10 diminishes with age, therefore, maintaining a healthy level of coQ10 is important to health.

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is a potent free radical destroyer that is a precursor to glu- tathione. Glutathione plays a key role in the body's defense against pollutants and ultraviolet radiation. it is the body's major cellular antioxidant and detoxifying agent. Glutathione also acts to reconstitute vitamin E and c, after they have been oxidized, and therefore plays a determinant role in the concert of Antioxidant NetworkTM .

Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E)

Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) is one of the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidants which provides powerful support for the immune and cardiovascular systems. Vitamin E is the first line of defense against lipid peroxidation (protecting the fatty portion of cell mem- branes). it is a family of nutrients, not just a single compound. Vitamin E consists of several forms of tocopherols: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. it is recommended that you take a mixture of the entire spectrum to get all the benefits. Vitamin E helps prevent oxidative stress by working together with the other network antioxidants vitamin c, alpha lipoic acid and selenium.

DL-Alpha Lipoic Acid

DL-Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful, unique water and fat soluble antioxidant which is involved in mitochondrial electron transport reactions essential to cellular energy pro- duction through the metabolism of glucose transport. AlA has been shown to increase intracellular levels of glutathione and coQ10 and has the ability to further reduce the oxidized forms of several other antioxidants such as vitamin c and E, thus regenerating them.

Green Tea extract

Green Tea extract contains constituents known as polyphenols which have potent anti- oxidant activity. recent research has shown that the polyphenolic antioxidants in green tea possess anticancer effects. Green tea antioxidants also bind up free radicals and effectively mitigate cellular damage in inflammatory states by lowering the inflammatory reaction and reducing the lipid peroxidation. Green tea is proposed to be a dietary supplement in the prevention of various diseases, such cardiovascular diseases, in which oxidative stress and inflammation are the principal causes.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in many bodily functions including the immune system, the reproduction system, growth, taste, vision, smell and proper insulin and thyroid function. Zinc also has antioxidant properties and is part of natural antioxidant enzyme systems such as superoxide dismutase (Sod) and glutathione peroxidase in the body that provide an important defense against free radicals.

Selenium

Selenium is a trace mineral that activates the antioxidant enzyme called glutathione per- oxidase which helps protect the body from free radical attack. Selenium also enhances the antioxidant effect of vitamin E.

Combination Rationale of CanPrev Antioxidant Network

Antioxidants work best as a complex. they work as a team, constantly regenerating each other from the oxidized state back to the antioxidant status.

canPrev's Antioxidant NetworkTM provides the body with the most important antioxi- dants that work together to maximize protection against free radical damage to our cells and tissues.

N-acetyl-cysteine

N-acetyl-cysteine is the precursor to the "master antioxidant" glutathione. it also re- cycles other antioxidants such as vitamins c and E. coQ10 is a lipid soluble molecule which works synergistically with vitamin E to protect the lipid rich membrane structures of the cells. Alpha lipoic acid is unique in that it has the ability to restore itself as well as all of the other antioxidants in the network.

Taking an antioxidant "cocktail" containing mixed vitamin E forms, selenium, NAc, zinc and coenzyme Q10 is most ideal to promote healing and to maximize protection against disease and aging.
